Being that open carry is illegal in FL (the only Republican state in the nation to ban it), I was pulled over at gun point by a marked Miami-Dade unit while I was off duty as a cop.
I was riding my motorcycle on the Palmetto Express when I lived in Miami. I was wearing a tshirt and had my agency issued GLOCK in my agency issued off-duty OWB DeSantis thumb-break scabbard. Keeping up with traffic, the shirt was flopping in the breeze.
The marked unit passed me on my right, saw my pistol, slammed on the breaks, got behind me, lit me up, pulled me over, and at gun point ordered me off my bike.
After I pulled over (mind you, signaling that I was getting off the expressway for my own personal safety), it was then that I informed him I was an off-duty LEO and very slowly produced my creds.
MDPD told me that if I weren't a cop. He'd haul my butt to jail for openly carrying in Florida.
Never mind the fact that in 2011, the Republican legislature pass a bill to specifically prevent such from occurring. But it was so poorly written, it doesn't matter now and didn't matter then.
This is why we need legalized open carry in Florida because there no definition of what "briefly" is. It was literally a wardrobe malfunction due to the wind whipping my untucked shirt as I was legally carrying and legally driving my motorcycle on a legal street and not violating any traffic laws whatsoever.
As a LEO myself, I never gave a rat's butt and if folks had firearms visible in the car. It lowered the tension. I knew they were armed, they knew I was armed, everything was peaceful. But other officers think they're all high and mighty and that only them and bad guys have guns. So, they treat EVERYONE as if they're a bad guy.
And that ain't right.
